VERBIVOREEat letters. Make words. Play Verbivore!
A game based on the classic Snake combined with letters to make a word game. I have been working on this for about a year; I expect to release by the end of November.
I will be posting dev log updates here as well as on Twitter at:

Design principles, in order of decreasing importance:
-
Smoothness. Transitions from one state to another should be seamless.
-
Typography. Lettering is very important in the game, and especial care has been taken to make it legible, beautiful yet simple.
-
A 'big', fat snake. Think anacondas, not angel hair pasta.
-
A limited but effective colour palette. Verbivore does not eschew colour, but it is not a
colourful game per se.

In-game. The paragraph marks, when eaten, will let the snake digest formed words, which will cause it to shrink to fit the remaining letters.
